Dansville- Renae Jane Starkey, 61, of Dansville NY passed away on December 3, 2025.

Renae was born in Rochester NY to Beverly Miles and Gordon Starkey on September 25, 1964. She was a child full of life who enjoyed many things. In her adult life she was most notably known for being "Rhinestone Renae" as she had a successful business selling Rhinestone Tumblers and anything else you could imagine. She was always very creative and enjoyed spending time with her daughters and her 4 grandchildren. She loved and lived every day so fiercely and with the best sense of humor imaginable. She was a wonderful grandmother and a dedicated mother to her two daughters.

She is survived by her daughters, Sheila Bowers of Glendale AZ and respectively her 2 children, Trevor Bowers age 16 and Macie Keenen age 20. She is survived by her daughter Erica Yohe of Hilliard OH and respectively her 2 children, Fiona Skye McMaster age 5 and David "Gus" McMaster age 2. She is also survived by her sisters Alisha Starkey, Luanne Starkey, Brenda, Lynn and Abbey. She is predeceased in death by her mother Beverly Jane Miles, her father Gordon Starkey and her brothers "Doc" and Chad.

There will be no funeral services as per her wishes. Her daughters ask for privacy at this time and if you wish to make separate arrangements you may contact her daughters directly.

In lieu of Flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to the National Pancreatic Cancer Foundation at https://www.npcf.us/ways-to-donate/ or by planting a tree in her honor as she loved the Forest.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
